Andy Jagpal, President Comments:

”I would like to take the time to welcome Joel DeBellefeuille, the CEO of Marianna Naturals Corp.  Joel brings an array of knowledge to our Company and we are very excited to work with both himself and his team.”

Joel DeBellefeuille, Director & CEO of Marianna Naturals Corp. Comments:

“Exciting times are definitely ahead, and I couldn’t be happier with the current direction Primo is taking. With this newly formed partnership, Primo can hit the market with over 100 different beauty products (creams, lotions & topicals, eye gels, soap bars, shampoos, face serums and hand sanitizers to name a few), all of which can be infused with CBD. This is a major advantage over some of the big LPs out there that are spending big money on R&D and formulation. Quality assurance, product development, recipes, ingredients, SOP’s (Standard Operating Procedures) and MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) are already in place with Marianna Naturals Corp. Primo is ready to sell and or take Private Label requests right now. The only thing that Primo would have to do is to file a request for an NPN (Natural Product Number) for each of these products with Health Canada. This is a huge milestone for Primo and a major recipe for success and I appreciate the team bringing me on board. I look forward to the future of both companies.”
